4. Blessed is that man that makes the Lord his trust and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5. Thou hast increased, O Lord my God, thy wonderful works which thou hast done and thy thoughts regarding us; they are beyond our ability to express, declare, or speak; they cannot be told.
6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened; burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required.
7. Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8. I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my bowels.
9. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
10. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy truth and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.
11. Do not withhold thy tender mercies from me, O Lord; let thy mercy and thy truth continually preserve me.
12. For innumerable evils have compassed me about; my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to see; they are more than the hairs of my head; therefore my heart fails me.
